A big thank you to parents for providing a huge variety of World Book Day costumes yesterday. The children were very enthusiastic to share their costumes and the book they came from with their classes. A definite highlight of the day was our visits from ‘Mystery Readers’ so thank you to all those who took part.
We had a fabulous time performing at Young Voices 2020! After months of rehearsals during our weekly "Young Voices Club", we performed alongside thousands of other children and teachers to a full arena of friends and family. We loved every second of the performance and were glad that we could even spot our parents in the audience.
Thank you to our families for coming to join in the fun!
This week, we have all enjoyed taxing our brains through some extra Maths! Maths Puzzles have been set up in the hall for children and staff to have a go at. We worked on our own, with a friend and in groups to test our problem solving skills, determination, resilience and teamwork and be curious, confident learners.
We are holding an event to raise money for the Australian Bushfire.
Today we remembered and thanked our fallen soldiers through a two-minute silence following The Last Post. Mrs Hill led an assembly prior to this to teach the children about the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month and we watched a very thought-provoking film, appropriate to the children's age, about what it is that we are remembering and thanking our heroes for. The children carried out their silent reflections superbly and very respectfully. Thank you to Mr King for playing The Last Post to begin our silence.
What a week! We've been planning, designing, creating, evaluating and celebrating throughout the school working on a range of projects. The week culminated in our DT Sharing, where we exhibited all of our work for the school to see.
Food glorious food!
To end Year 6's Young Enterprise Project, we held a Pop Up Market to sell, celebrate and provide services for the rest of the school. At the market, there was all sorts, from chocolate fountains, to Lego figures, home-made t-shirts and homemade cakes. The market has shown a great community spirit, while teaching children about budgeting, planning, organisation, handling money, teamwork, patience and resilience. Thank you to parents for supporting the project and to the PTA for loaning each child in Year 6 £2 to kick-start their project.
On Tuesday 2nd July, family and friends were invited into school to look at and celebrate our children's work from this academic year. Children not only shared their work with their parents, but also showed them their current classroom and their new classroom for September.
Here are some examples of the work that we shared:
On Tuesday 2nd July, parents, friends, family and staff were treated to an evening of musicianship thanks to pupils from YR to Y6. We were treated to music by violinists, guitarists, ukulele players, woodwind players, singers and pianists. Some children performed in groups while others opted for solos or duets. It was a wonderful example of confidence and pride by our pupils, who never fail to amaze us. Well done to everyone involved.
